We're Loop, a new local service here in Atlanta. We’re not amazon. We're not goodwill. We’re your neighbors. And we want your sonos speakers. List your stuff in 18 seconds. We buy it, venmo you cash, and pick up from your porch. No sketchy meetups. No haggling in parking lots. No messaging "is this available?" How it works: 1. We buy your stuff. Just take a picture! 2. Put on your porch. We'll pick it up. 3. Get paid via Venmo 7 days later. You're done! We believe items should have long, happy lives. Your home isn't a storage unit... Keep what you use. Loop what you don't.
